My Book of Yesterday

A new day has been born 
through the struggles of the pregnant night.

And as I sit in this serene environmen
To flip through the books of yesterday 

What warms me up from the inside also try to tears me apart

It shows me where I fall and where I stand tall
It gives me the smiles just as it comes along with the frowns 

So I sit here with this naked face
Soo confuse as to what to wear
Those smiles or the frowns

Then the joy became great,
As I flip to the next page

It started on a sunny day with some sunflowers 
And ended on a half-full moon night,
With brighter stars

This is what everyone will hold so dear and never will let go

For the marks they created is indelible 

Then tears rolled down my face
As I glance through the next the page

This is the list of missing people

Not for those twinkle stars that gradually faded and disappear 
Leaving the naked skies 

But for those who now dwell beneath the bedrocks 
Leaving their souls in the heavens above the skies 

And all of a sudden their voices started echoing in my ears 

Like time didn't fold nights and spread days
Just like the elderly didn't turn old
And grow gray.
